Traditional Village Preservation

The cultural relics in a traditional village and its spirit formed in the time-honored history are of great value from the perspective of spirit inheritance and cultural education. This project intends to develop and revitalize the traditional village of Wanjian with the principle of “Advancing protection and development in parallel”, serving its role as a space for cultural relics preservation and inheritance as well as enhance the cultural self-consciousness and confidence of local villagers, stimulating their initiative and internal impetus.

Aging in Rural Area and Sustainable Development

Population aging is one of the factors that restrict sustainable development. Most of the young people in our country choose to reside in cities and urban area, thus leaving the rural population with a high proportion of elderly people. This project will explore the mutual caring model under the trend of aging in rural area, with its goal to improve the rural ecological and cultural environment and strive to maintain the sustainable development of rural society, culture, and ecology.

Urban-Rural Integration and Rural Vitalization

The urban-rural integration is believed to be a specific and practical way to achieve rural vitalization and also an effective strategy to change the urban-rural dual structure. The renewal project of the Old House of the Rui Family will not only renovate the building to serve the purpose of a community common space, but also make full use of the local resources to empower local residents to inherit local culture, and thus promotes urban-rural interaction and coordinate the promotion of rural vitalization.
